Cards for Vinnies!
We are so proud to announce our Social Justice initiative for this term! The St Vincent de Paul Society each year holds their Christmas Appeal to assist those in need. They aim to help provide people with urgent assistance and lasting support to break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage.
Information about the wonderful work that Vinnies does can be found at their website.
This year we would like to help support Vinnies with our Christmas Card Sale!!!
Our students have worked away to design beautiful cards, and in fact we have over 30 different designs that can be purchased! Cards are available for $1 each and six for $5.
We truly appreciate those who have already purchased cards! The designs are beautiful and the cards have come together really well, so they are very much worth buying.
Please have a browse at our card website! Your generous support of this initiative will help Vinnies in their work.

Advent Celebrations
The lead up to Christmas is an important time in our Catholic Church, as we look towards the arrival of the lord in the form of a precious child. This preparation time as you know is called Advent, with each of the four weeks having a distinctive theme that can help us pray and reflect.
We look forward to celebrating these weeks of Advent at the following times, to close off our school day on a Monday. All parents and carers are most welcome to join our staff and students at the following upcoming prayer ceremonies.
Advent Celebration #1 - Monday the 1st of December, 3.15PM in the Padua Pavilion.
Advent Celebration #2 - Monday the 8th of December, 3.15PM in the Padua Pavilion.
Advent Celebration #3 - Monday the 15th of December, 3.15PM in the library or outside (depending on weather).
We look forward to celebrating Advent with our community as the school year winds to a close.
God Bless!
